What Inth does

Inth makes privacy compliance live where the risk actually is: the codebase and runtime. Companies still rely on dashboards, questionnaires, and policy docs to prove compliance, but consent breaks in code, deletion breaks in code, and vendors, logs, AI systems, and agent-written changes all move user data in code. Inth sits in the repo, detects user-data privacy risk, maps it to files and owners, and generates the evidence regulators and enterprise buyers ask for. Its wedge is c15t, an open-source consent SDK with 2.6M npm downloads and adoption from teams like Zed, Infisical, and Expo. Inth is making every codebase compliant by default.

Privacy compliance, enforced in code

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build a tool that makes privacy compliance live inside codebases and runtime environments. Our product detects where user data is mishandled in the code, maps it to specific files and owners, and generates compliance evidence automatically. This replaces manual dashboards and policy docs with actual enforcement at the code and runtime level. Our open-source c15t consent SDK, with millions of downloads, acts as our wedge into teams needing this functionality.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and work in London, England, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

London has a strong developer community and compliance-driven businesses. It's our home and where we can best build and sell to teams focused on privacy and regulatory compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Inth YC application?

No. Y Combinator keeps submitted applications private. This is a reconstruction: the real YC form questions, answered from Inth's public data (launch notes, founder backgrounds, product description). It shows how a company like Inth would present itself to YC, not the text they submitted.
